Can a civilian AR rifle be classified as MilSpec?

American Rifleman has a good article concerning a word that quite a few AR owners throw around. MilSpec.

Great find 2A! Always learning sumthing new here.  Wow busmaster was not up there huh.  I read somewhere that the tree big AR folks are the ABC.  Armilate, Bushmaster, Colt.

There is so much debate on AR manufacturers and what the big ones are. Most people I hear say that Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt are all middle tier. The upper tier manufacturers are LMT, Bravo Company, Knights Armament, Noveske, LWRC. Of course this doesn't come from any experience on my part, just random internet chatter. The only one I've had experience with is a Colt and it seemed fine to me, as I'm sure your Bushmasta is :)
